The characteristic impedance of a transmission line is the ratio of voltage to current of the propagating electrical wave. The line input impedance is the result of the superposition of forward and reverse, or reflected waves when the terminating impedance is not adapted. If the line is infinite, nothing returns from its end and only the forward wave exits. The voltage to current ratio is then the line characteristic impedance. Remark that the same occurs when the line is terminated by its characteristic impedance, the forward wave finds a perfect continuity to the load and no energy is reflected back to the line. A matched line is like an infinite line when looked from the input terminals. Long real lossy lines also act as infinite lines for the energy of the reflected wave is dissipated along the line before reaching the source.
The characteristic impedance or surge impedance belongs to uniform transmission lines.In electronic gears we use voltage bridging, that is a relative low output impedance to a higher input impedance. Usualy the input impedance is more than ten times higher then the output impedance.An input impedance is called also a load impedance or an external impedance.An output impedance is called also a source impedance or an internal impedance.

The characteristic impedance or surge impedance belongs to a uniform transmission line, usually written Z0. It is the ratio of the amplitudes of a single pair of voltage and current waves propagating along the line in the absence of reflections.
Two reasons. 1...When impedance of source and destination match, power transfer is maximum. 2...If a long transmission line is involved, the characteristic impedance of the line must match the destination impedance, or reflections will occur on the line.

For a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.0, the source impedance, load impedance, and transmission line characteristic impedance must be matched. To calculate actual VSWR, you need to know these three values. You're question only supplies one (50 ohm line). Review wikipedia's writeup on "standing wave ratio" to glean an understanding of what you're asking about.
When a wave enters a waveguide from air, the phase velocity will decrease. This is because waveguides typically have a higher refractive index than air, causing the wave to slow down as it enters the waveguide.
The waves that cannot be transmitted in a waveguide are those that have a wavelength longer than the cutoff wavelength of the waveguide. These waves are unable to propagate efficiently within the waveguide due to the cutoff phenomenon which restricts their transmission.
Characteristic impedance of cat 5e utp cables is 100 ohms.
I believe intrinsic impedance is more tied to the medium, thus is defined in terms of magnetic and electric permeability and electrical conductivity, while characteristic impedance is a "wider" look at the impedance. For example, you can calculate the intrinsic impedance of a 18 awg copper wire, or air, or a vacuum. If you wanted to use coax cable with an 18 awg core, you would be looking at the characteristic impedance, not the intrinsic impedance of the copper that will be carrying the waveform.

Sure. If the line is properly terminated ... in a load equal to its characteristic impedance ... then the standing wave ratio on the line is 1.0 . The SWR is the direct result of the nature of the load.
The characteristic impedance of paired copper wire is typically around 100-120 ohms. This value is important in determining signal integrity and impedance matching in communication systems.

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguides for each type of wave.
The characteristic impedance is rather important. Input and output equipment connected with co-axial cable should all be at the same impedance for efficient power transformation and a clean wave shape. All co-axial cables have a characteristic impedance due to their physical dimensions. The main contributor is the distance from the center conductor to the braid. This is mainly capacitance and stays constant. As the frequency goes higher across this capacitance; the effective impedance seems to decrease. As the impedance to the braid decreases; less power gets to the output end of the cable. Even worse, the wave shape gets distorted. Even a digital signal rounds off and looks like it is leaning. Impedance is rated at a particular frequency band.
